Iowa Football Recruiting

That’s stupid to say because trying to compare the transfer market when Fred was doing it back then to now is comparing apples to oranges

And I would argue that Fred really didn't hit it out of the park last year...jury is out this year. Hitting on 3-4 transfers is only something that the true blue bloods can do...and they can pick/choose the top ones. Everyone out there hits the transfer market hard...you have to given that nearly a thousand now hit it every year.

Apparently he realized he wasn’t ready to commit, but was up front with the Iowa staff about everything. I still don’t really understand why he is cutting down to a Top 4 already after decommitting just a few weeks ago. FWIW, I think Iowa is still the favorite here.

Never know if you get family guilted a lot to stay closer to home but those other options arent really all "that" much closer. I mean I could see if his 4 was Iowa, FSU, Auburn, South Carolina for example.

Another whiff by CMC.

Interesting troll angle to call it a whiff.

Not sure ISU was ever really in that.

 

[TheJackWePack5]

ISU probably wasn't an NIT team with Haliburton last season.

Losing him and adding what ISU is adding doesn't get them back to competing for an NCAA bid.

Even with the addition by subtraction of Jacobson and Nixon exhausting their eligibility.

No they probably weren’t NIT bound, but winning 3-4 more games than they did would have helped.

I’m sure people didn’t think adding Shayok and Jacobson was enough 2 years ago and sure enough, it was.

Huh..

Going to get? I have no idea because I don't know the future. If I did I'd be extremely wealthy. Players I feel that ISU is likely to has a great chance of landing:
Mitchell Evans (TE)
Jaylin Noel (WR)
Aden Kelley (DT)

Players who I think they will be in the running for until the end:
TJ Bollers (DE)
Micah Pettus (OL)
Kyree Young (RB)
Marcus Mbow (OL)
And that kid from Iowa whose blown up recently, he's an OL

Ehh, I think Moore will stick with ISU.

I meant Fred currently at Nebraska is doing way better than Prohm with transfers this off season. Kobe and Kobe are both better than anything Prohm pulled in and he also got a couple JUCO's as well.

So they both pay rent (not mortgage) by getting commission from a website that is closing and are trying to pay money.

Boy, that quote is something. Nothing like contradicting his contradiction.

Looks like you are living mortgage free in his head

(I realize I am hours late but I really wanted to get that joke in)

I adhere to CF rule #1. Dont take out a mortgage or car loan. Straight cash homey.

 

[Crookedhatkid]

Honest question, are you hearing any buzz about why he decommitted to only put Iowa back in? Just kind of a weird thing, I mean it's only been a few weeks right?

He wants to play with Biglow the ISU commit but he isn’t a take for ISU so he has been working on getting them as a package to Pitt. If he can’t get Biglow I imagine he goes back to Iowa.

ISU added much more than that a couple years ago.

Which one of your transfers is going to be first team all conference like Shayok?

Which incoming freshman will be a one and done draft pick like Horton Tucker and which freshman will be a lottery pick after year 2 like Haliburton?

Did they really add “that much more” 2 years ago?

I remember several on this site mocking ISU for taking a kid that averaged 9 points at Virginia. Probably the same who don’t think JCL will be any good.

As for your second question, who knows? I’m guessing nobody thought THT or Haliburton would both be draft picks after 1-2 years.

Why?

 

[Kinnick80]

Why?

Gillette is Iowa’s backup plan if they miss on Fidone, Moore likely next option.

Who's Gillette?

 

[CyTwins]

Wow

 

[JP4CY]

Wow

Ugh. Thats too bad if people are criticizing him.

 

[Kinnick80]

Iowa likes Gillette more than Moore?

Yeah, keeping in contact with both though.
